We got just enough that my office closed as well as the one in Iowa, luckily working for a lawn company that doesn't do much this time of year (we don't do plowing), we have other call centers in warmer areas that can handle the volume, and they'd rather we be safe than risk coming to work in bad conditions.

High octane Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I don't like the snow, as I just tolerate it. The landscaper was supposed to come over yesterday and remove the snow from the driveway, but never showed up or called so I got somebody else to do it.

Joe Handley Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 I spent a at least a few hours of my "snow day" clearing the driveway and back yard with both a shovel (and help from my neighbor's kid, very grateful for that!) and snowblower. I then had a late lunch and crashed for at least a few hours in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took what ever they wanted to give me. Glad you had some help most kids here don't want to work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doctor that came to the house for a house visit with Mom told me that he appreciated that we had the drive, walkway, and front steps cleared form him when he got here.

iamsuperdan Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ha! Last winter I welcomed everyone to winter, where parking spots are made up and lines on the road don't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Man, snow is for dreamers. Most working folks don't need it. It's purdy, but useless in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Tuesday was surreal..was sunny and 72 at 4pm--I was driving w/ my sunroof open, not wearing a coat, saw people out and about in shorts and t-shirts. Yesterday it was 36 and raining at 4pm Today, it's cold--had freezing rain and snow this morning--now the sun is out. Very spring like weather for February..
